Meeting Scathach and the Witch

In present day, she is Admiral Owen's lover. Upon arrival of the deepest part of the Caverns, Owen gives Scathach a hug. Their embrace was interrupted by Odran, who tells Scathach to get her hands off Owen. Odran pull his sword and points it at her, but Owen tells him to sheath it. Odran worries that Owen may have been cursed by Scathach, stating that she should have burned with every single thing that was on the boat that lies before them. Owen then threatens Odran to back off, stating that insulting Scathach once more may result in a consequence. Odran continues to worry about Owen and tells Scathach to back away from Owen or dire consequences will follow. Owen turns to Scathach and apologizes. Scathach accepts the apology and states that there are other matters to tend to.

Odran leaves and Scathach talks to Owen, worrying about Owen's health. Owen remarks that he is fine and says nothing shall hold him back from seeing her, regardless of how brief the meeting is. Owen then talks about how Scathach's condition is responsible for Owen's suffering. Owen thinks of her often and how a single thought of Scathach being alone in the caverns puts him in misery. He then attempt to persuade Scathach into joining his place in Belvast, ensuring that the witch does not bother her, and if necessary, he would go through great lengths to keep the witch contained, to go as far as building a large wall of the strongest materials in Erinn. He would even stay with Scathach if necessary, but she declines and will not let Owen have his way, fearing of what the witch may do to Owen. Scathach even goes as far as to say what if the witch uses her voice against him; Owen bluntly answers that he would gag her, but Scathach then puts Owen a position where what if the witch cries as Scathach; Owen says he would turn his back on the witch, but would be hurt to do such a thing. If it would free Scathach from the darkness, he will do what it takes and accept any pain and burden that comes his way. Scathach calls him a fool and warns that the sun is rising. After noticing the Milletian, she asks Owen to leave as she wishes to speak to the Milletian. Owen asks what is she going to tell them, but replies that it can only be told to a Milletian. Trusting Scathach, Owen leaves.

Scathach asks the Milletian to hold her hand. Shortly after, she turns the witch and pushes the Milletian away from her, then asks how holding her felt. She places her trust in the Milletian for being with Admiral Owen, then asks if they pitied the relationship between Scathach and Owen. She then explains that Scathach is the witch and vice versa; two sides of the same coin. She goes to say that everything Scathach loves about Owen also belongs to the witch. The witch tells the Milletian to tell Owen that they must prepare for war, and must leave at once to deliver the message.
